Question

atheistic The atheistic Madalyn Murray O'Hair successfully sought the removal of prayer from American public schools in the 1960s. ˌeɪθiˈɪstɪk

Accepted Answer

Denying the existence of God or divine power. In the Roman Empire, early Christians were called atheistic because they denied the existence of the Roman gods. And once the Christian church was firmly established, it condemned the Romans as atheists because they didn't believe in the Christian God. In later centuries, English-speaking Christians would often use the words pagan and heathen to describe such non-Christians, while atheist would be reserved for those who actually denied the existence of any god. Atheism is different from agnosticism, which claims that the existence of any higher power is unknowable; and lots of people who simply don't think much about religion often call themselves agnostics as well
